Explain as in provide rational justification...or explain as in describe the biological situation that creates this situation?
Human life, btw, to me - the most valuable thing in existence, if for no other reason......than that I enjoy the hell out of mine. I wave the human flag at every opportunity, and there's never a moments hesitation in my mind when a decision has to be made between competing interests. I'm always on our side. Bald Eagles or well lit streets? Pow, roasted eagle. Beautiful forests or plentiful food? Hand me the gas and the torch.
I'd shoot a bear if I saw it chasing the next (or previous) Pol Pot, it's just who I am.
That the kind of declaration of inherent value you're thinking of? Does it qualify?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
